The cosmos or universe is so enormous and stupendous it’s mind-boggling! Here are some facts about space that are … well, cosmic!

The Sun

The Sun is the centre of our solar system. It’s a hot, glowing ball of gas that gives us heat and light. Without it there wouldn’t be life on Earth and we wouldn’t exist. The Sun’s gravity also holds our solar system together.

The Sun is around 148 million kilometres away from the Earth. That’s just as well because the Sun’s surface is very hot. Its core – the hottest part – is a sizzling 15 million degrees Celsius! Our Sun is about 100 times wider than the Earth, but it’s only an average-sized star. Astronomers have found some stars that are 100 times bigger than the Sun!
